I've already posted but I love this kind of thread so I'll just, if you can forgive me, post my deer baby.

TVM Late Lancaster 36"X.45, just over 6lbs.  It has taken a truckload of deer and never needed a second shot.

Hanshi, It appears you and I have the same rifle made by Matt, only mine has a plain stock (no curl). Love the way this rifle shoots; 55gr 3F Goex, .440 cast ball, .018 ticking with pure Neatsfoot oil as a lube. When I can't find pure Neatsfoot I use GOJO hand cleaner, a little more fouling and dries out too much on the patches if out for too long.

I'll give it a try.  Here are my Hawken Brothers in the house.  The flintlock on the left was one I built from one of those kits that Cabela's had on sale right before Christmas.  The perc Hawken on the right started life as a T/C .50 and was my dad's gun 30 years ago!  He passed away in 2000 and last year I got out his Hawken.  The sear was broken and it would not stay cocked; so I ordered a sear for it and fixed that.  Then I replaced the old barrel with a fast twist Green Mountain.  Then after shooting it a little I found the stock, which had gotten very dry, developed two parallel cracks just ahead of the tang.  So I splurged for a piece of #4 grade maple and put a new stock on it.  I've been having a good time working with both of these rifles.  Have shot the flintlock and little and it shoots great.  Haven't shot the T/C since I put the stock on it but it was shooting well before I broke the stock.  Blessings, Rev

We both obviously know a fine rifle when we see one.  Except for the nice wood  - I only ordered the first grade up, P+ but the wood turned out to be much nicer than that - it's a plain rifle with a straight barrel.   A rifle I'll never part with.

Our buddy, Voy, has been wanting help identifying that old rifle of his.  Thought I'd help out by posting a couple of pics of it.  Anyone have any ideas???
